WP-API Post Groups

WP-API Post Groups A WP-API extension that allows multiple groups of posts with different filters to be obtained in a single request. What? I've been experimenting with WordPress as an API-first CMS, as explained in this article. With WP-API maturing into a very stable product and moving to the WordPress core in the near future, it seemed logical to use it rather than creating a custom solution. However, an API-first approach means that every bit of information from the back-end will have to come through the API, which in some cases might mean sending multiple requests to the API to render a single page. To reduce the overhead caused by multiple HTTP requests, this plugin allows you to receive completely separate sets of data from the API in a single request. How? Currently, the grouping only works with filters and it's available on two endpoints: - /postgroups: Returns groups of posts - /pagegroups: Returns groups of pages Each group is defined in the URL with a label and a set of filters in this format: label:filter[filtertype]=value. The response is a JSON object with one node per group, named after the label. Example /postgroups?foo:filter[author]=fooguy&foo:filter[s]=f
